So I got a great deal on some slightly used A3S04's. Problem is they are 245-45-16 all around. I hear this would be fine if I had a sway bar...but I don't.

I have an autox sunday. Should I run these or am I going to oversteer like a motherfcuker? Daily driver tires I'm running now are the Hankook RS2's (205F, 245R). Should I just run these instead?

Also, a local guy is selling some rear V700's in 275/45/16. Just curious - what would happen if I ran the A3S04's in front and the V700's in back? Or for that matter, my hankooks up front and the Hoosiers in back?

(yes, I know these are weird/dumb questions).

Thanks for the help.

 

my friend that runs scca have this set up.

he have really stiff suspension and he said it'll scrap the plastic piece when you corner really hard. but so far he like it a lot.

 

you should try it cuz i don't think many people on board runs same all the way around.

 

i personally use 255/40/17 all around and i like it a lot

 

Hey Pat. If you're talking about my tires, they are 265's in the back. No big deal, but just so you know.

I really want to move these, so PM me if you're interested and we can work out some kind of deal. I'll send you pics if you want later.

Shaolin - You don't find that running 255's all around causes oversteer? Do you have a front sway bar?

Mike - yeah, I was talking about your tires . While I don't really need the tires now, I think it's a real good deal. I'll pm you when I come to a decision. BTW - send me some pics of your car with the hardtop if you got any

 

I run Hoosiers with 225 front 245 rear and a large swaybar set full stiff. On fast courses I still have to be aware of oversteer. I would not run the 245 all around combo without the big swaybar. The guys that I have talked to that run the 245s on all four also have custom valved high end shocks.

I also would not run a mismatched set. Especially street tires front and r-compounds rear. It will certainly not oversteer! (Probably won't steer at all.)

I think your best bet is to run the Hankooks until you can find some 225 Hoosiers for the front.

 

Conedodger - so, do you recommend 225's in the front or 205's since I don't have a sway bar.

 

I'll send you pic this wekend Pat. Keep me posted on the tires. Where is the AutoX this weekend? I might want to bring my car as well.

I would try it out just for fun. It'll be good practice in car control.
